[coreboot] DIP8 flash programming for development

2021-11-26 Thread Pedro Erencia
Hi, I'm thinking about porting coreboot to a FM2A88X Extreme4+ board. This board has a DIP8 flash with a socket and I wondered what would be the best way to do an efficient development cycle. Ideally, I suppose that the best option would be to use a clip test and a CH341A, but all the clips that I
